I heard the bells on Christmas Day
The old familiar carols play
Wild and sweet the words repeat
Peace on Earth, good will to men
I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on Earth, good will to men
Peace on Earth, good will to men
And in despair I bowed my head
"There is no peace on Earth," I said
For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on Earth, good will to men
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor does He sleep
The wrong shall fail, and the right prevail
With peace on Earth, good will to men
Till ringing singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Peace on earth, good will to men!
